What is Astronomy Club? Astronomy club is a high school student organization where students learn about and practice astronomy skills such as star gazing, telescopic observation, constellation identification, spectral analysis, dimensional analysis, data collection and application, astrophotography, solar studies/observation. Students have the opportunity to attend night-time observations where many observational skills are put into practice. Opportunities for club trips will also arise as students raise funds through club sponsored events. Astronomy club is run and organized by Mr. Wallace, who teaches General Science 9 at the Freshman Center, rm 123. Students interested in joining Astronomy Club should contact Mr. Wallace (see info at the bottom of this page).
Tentative Meeting Dates (Weather Permitting):
Prior to attending any event, check your e-mail as late as possible in case the event has been canceled/modified!!!
On cloudy or raining evenings we will still meet for a "movie night" in room 123 at the Freshman Center!!
Normal outdoor observations will take place at the Pennsburg location (see map below) - 1740 Old Plains Rd. Pennsburg, PA 18073 - attendees must provide their own transportation!
